Suggest Remedy To Loose Weight

Can someone help me lose weight? I'm morbidly obese, and I'm 14 years old. I weigh around 350 pounds, I can't even walk long without being out of breath, excercise is hard. I feel like I'm addicted to food... I need severe help, please? All my parents ever tell me is to eat healthy and excercise but it's not as easy as it sounds. Thank you!

Welcome to Health Care Magic. Thank you for posting your question.
I can understand your concern.

See , at your age it is easy to shed off the extra pounds by exercising . Imagine if your age was around 60 . Could you do that ? NO.
So you do have an advantage.

I can understand it is difficult to start running around and losing 15-20 lbs in a single day. But , yes , there should be a start. At your age , you should not be facing problems while walking , but you are having them, so start fast.

Now , let me help you out on a plan :


Try to maintain a balanced diet with cereals , proteins ,loads of vegetables . Try to eat around 4-5 fruits a day.
Keep away from fried food , soft drinks , chocolates .
Have small meals at regular intervals.
Drink loads of water.
That's all about the diet.

It would be great if you could add to that a bit of physical exercise and cardio workouts like walking and jogging. Walk for at least 40 minutes a day
Walk at a slow pace and then gradually increase.

It is not difficult at all. You are just 14. You can do it.
Stick to this plan for 6 months.

Post any other question. We will be happy to help.
Have a nice day. Regards.
